* Heat content is the number of BTU/lb needed to reach the condition indicated starting with water at 32F.
Saturated steam is pure steam in direct contact with the liquid water
from which it was generated and at a temperature of water at the
existing pressure. For example, saturated steam at 50 PSIG has a
temperature of 298F.
Pressure is commonly expressed either (a) PSIA pounds per square
inch absolute or, (b) PSIG pounds per square inch gauge above

standard atmospheric pressure of 14.7 PSIA, thus PSIG is equal to

PSIA minus 14.7 psi.
Latent heat, expressed in BTU per pound, is the amount of heat
needed (absorbed) to convert a pound of boiling water to a pound of
steam. The same amount of heat is liberated when a pound of steam
condenses back to a pound of water. Latent heat varies with
temperature (see table above).
